Wetherlam is one of 3 adjoining holiday cottages located on the North East tip of Coniston Water. Along with 2 other adjacent holiday properties and a row of traditional stone outbuildings, the cottages are set around a triangular courtyard on a small country estate and enjoy access to the estates private lake shore and jetties.

This area was much favored by such literary lights as Tennyson, Turner and later Arthur Ransome, author of the much loved childrens series of novels The Swallows & Amazons. Each drew inspiration from the surrounds where the views give a deep sense of the power and beauty of the Lake District landscape.

Today each cottage offers guests the perfect destination set in one of the finest locations in the central Lake District, where the view is filled by the high peaks of Coniston’s mountain range, reflected in deep waters.

The Surrounds

The properties lie about one and a half miles from the village, an mostly easy flat walk or cycle drive around the head of the lake.

Surrounding the cottages are beautiful gardens and lakeland countryside and although the grounds are mainly open and shared there is plenty of space to find a private, quiet spot. A meadow sweeps down to the lake shore where there are three jetties, and for a small fee guests may moor their own boats or those hired from the Coniston Boating Centre. With eight hundred yards of shore to explore and the whole lake to muck about on, in and by, you have the ideal recipe for the perfect Lakeland holiday.

In the village there are shops, cafes and a number of good pubs serving locally brewed ale; noted is The Black Bull and the Ship Inn.

Walks abound. From the east side of the lake you can explore the Grizedale forest with its many trails for hiking and mountain biking.
From the village on the west side, tracks lead up through the old coppermines valley to the foot of Coniston Old Man, where the hearty can make an attempt up to the 2635 ft summit and the view, never to be forgotten.

Wetherlam

Wetherlam is one of the three adjoining cottages, created from an old 18th century stable set around the central courtyard. Shared with Grizedale, you have a large, peaceful and shady garden area in which to relax, and enjoy the spectacular view. The short walk across the meadow brings you to the lake shore and the private jetties

The corner cottage of the three, Wetherlam offers the perfect romantic, snug retreat for two. From the porch you step into the sitting room. Plump sofa and arm chair face a cheering open fire. Light streams through the windows, which give views to the garden, lake and mountains.

The well equipped kitchen has flag floors and oak beams, and all you need add is a little candlelight for the perfect romantic supper.

Upstairs is the double bedroom and bathroom with bath, overhead shower, hand basin and wc. There is also a small bunk bedroom which may be used at a small extra charge and on request.

Outside you can relax in the large shared garden or wander down to the lake shore for a picnic or swim. Whether you like mucking about on water, relaxing in beautiful surrounds or simply tucking up with a good book, Wetherlam will afford you that special setting for a memorable lakeland holiday.

 

All in all Wetherlam offer the perfect holiday, offering guests that rare element of fine accommodation, views of our magnificent mountains, private lake access and all set in the heart of Cumbrias Lake District.
